Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure Reduced Serum Paraoxonase1 (PON1) Activity Which Correlated With Oxidative Stress in Pesticide Factory Workers

Background & Aims of the Study: Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is a potent antioxidant that is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. Also, it is reported that environmental factors can modulate the PON1 activity. In this study, the association between the Organophosphates (OP) exposure and plasma Paraoxonase/Arylesterase (PON1) activity and also OP-induced oxidative stress was investi...

A Novel Interleaved DC-DC Converter with Reduced Loss for Fuel Cell Vehicle Application

In this paper a novel four-leg interleaved DC-DC boost converter is proposed which is well suitable for fuel cell vehicles (FCV) application. The voltage stress of two switches of this converter is half of the conventional interleaved converters. Therefore, smaller and cheaper switches can be utilized. Also "on" state duration of the two of four switches are reduced in comparison with...

Valuation of biodiversity effects from reduced pesticide use.

This study deals with the effects on biodiversity of pesticide-free buffer zones along field margins. Using choice modeling, the majority of respondents to a survey on pesticide use in the environment are willing to accept an increase in the price of bread if the survival of partridge chicks and the number of wild plants increase. The study identifies the need for further empirical work with re...

Application of pesticide leaching models to the Vredepeel dataset II Pesticide fate

The performance of nine deterministic, one-dimensional, dynamic pesticide leaching models with different complexity was evaluated using a ®eld experiment with bentazone and ethoprophos on a humic sandy soil with a shallow groundwater table. All modelers received an extensive description of the experimental data. Despite this fact, the interpretation of the experimental data was ambiguous, leadi...
